Moorhead School District voters will vote Nov. 8, 2016, on an operating levy renewal that will provide $223.66 per pupil in voter-approved funding each year for the next 10 years beginning with the 2018-19 school year.
Revenue from renewal of the operating levy would address five priority areas identified by the School Board.
- Support learning and operate our new and existing schools for our growing student enrollment.
- Maintain average class sizes.
- Provide a source of stable and predictable revenue to avoid reductions.
- Maintain and replace technology equipment.
- Maintain access to education programs including world languages and early childhood.
The operating levy renewal is to maintain current operating levy funds to support learning for the growing student enrollment. The average home in the district will see zero tax impact with renewal of the operating levy. Agricultural property is exempt except for the value of the house, garage and surrounding one acre.
